On October 31, 2026, in the 13th round of the Eerste Divisie, MVV Maastricht will host VVV-Venlo. The home side are keen to end their run of poor form and improve their table position, while the visitors play attacking football and look to continue their upward trajectory.
MVV Maastricht vs VVV-Venlo: What to Expect
MVV Maastricht
For the Maastricht side, the start of the season was mixed. After several successful matches, the team experienced a dip in form: victories over Jong FC Utrecht (2:1), FC Eindhoven (2:3), FC Volendam (1:0) and Jong AZ (1:2) were followed by heavy defeats against Almere City (0:4), RKC Waalwijk (6:1), TOP Oss (4:1) and Heracles Almelo (1:5). In their match against FC Den Bosch on 23 October, MVV drew 2:2.
The last league match showed the team can still fight back even after a run of poor results, though defence remains its weak point. The prediction for the home side in the Maastricht vs Venlo match will depend on whether they can avoid mistakes in front of their own goal and capitalise on the support from the stands.
VVV-Venlo
VVV-Venlo are having a much stronger season and, ahead of matchday 13, sit in 2nd place with 25 points: eight wins, one draw and three defeats. The team has scored 34 goals in 12 matches β one of the best records in the league. At the same time, conceding 20 goals shows that even high-scoring football does not guarantee comfortable finishes. In their previous five matches, VVV beat Jong Ajax (0:3) and Roda JC (2:0), drew 4:4 with Jong AZ and beat FC Dordrecht (2:4), but lost to FC Volendam (3:2).
In their most recent match against Dordrecht, VVV-Venlo scored four goals away from home, demonstrating their attacking prowess. The prediction for the visitors in the upcoming game looks more promising thanks to their more consistent results and greater attacking potential.
Maastricht vs Venlo: Head-to-Head Matches
The home side’s hope for the upcoming match lies in their head-to-head record: in their last five meetings, Maastricht have won three, lost one, and drawn one. MVV secured all three victories at home.
